• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KY124 - No authorization for one value type selected ?

  The SAP error message KY124 ("No authorization for one value type selected") typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) when a user attempts to access or perform an action related to a value type for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various transactions, such as when working with cost centers, internal orders, or other controlling-related activities.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization for the specific value type that the user is trying to access. Value types in SAP CO represent different categories of costs or revenues, and each value type may have specific authorization requirements. If a user does not have the appropriate authorization object assigned to their user profile for that value type, the system will generate this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the KY124 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and check the assigned roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for controlling activities typically include K_CCA (Cost Center Accounting) and K_CCT (Cost Center Type). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific value type they are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific value types.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.

  Authorization Management: Understanding how authorizations work in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concept of authorization objects, roles, and profiles.
